Summary: World Consciousness Adjustments

1. Key Plot Points/Events

• The Female Wisteria Vine, grievously wounded by Li Jiayu's soul-burning assault, decides to advance to Epic rank anyway, knowing its foundation is shattered. Its only hope is to absorb Kurumi's primordial yin.
• Kurumi was feigning unconsciousness throughout and reveals herself at the critical moment. Using the Twilight Morning Star, she activates a complex crimson arcane formation, amplifies the flame bullet's power with a secondary inscription, and kills the Female Wisteria Vine with a single shot through its eyeball—the weak point.
• The shot drains Kurumi's spiritual power completely; she becomes deathly pale and can barely stand, propping herself up on the rifle.
• The vines release Ran Hongxia and Xiao Wanqing. Moments later, a Second Order Low-level Flying Dragon Louse arrives—summoned by the vine's Mind Storm earlier but never released.
• Kurumi deduces this is the World Consciousness's "adjustment ability": the Main God's leaking aura awakened the World Consciousness, which has now targeted her. She is annoyed but completely confident she can kill this insect with an ordinary bullet.
• The Flying Dragon Louse senses lethal danger, bristles, and attempts to flee—but it is too late.

2. Character Developments
